“You are SO à la mode”

You are SO à la mode,
so edgy,
so radical,
so _revolutionary_.

i am SO _mainstream_.
i'm not fluid;
i'm just a plain ol' boring
adhd
autistic
disabled
panentheist
nonmonogamous
two-gendered
sadist
queer
domme
slut.

Let's talk about struggling
for a better world,
against nonconsensual hierarchy!

Oh, apologies for my insolence;
i don't have the social capital.
i'm too far beneath you.

i recant and relent,
being but dust and ashes.
Can i at least have your autograph?
